I've just started getting back into UT and have been installing a lot of packs. Now I notice on some maps (or maybe it's server specific) I have no reticle/crosshair, though I can fire and see it's hitting. I can't see any gun in my view either, except the translocator.

Good ideas - thanks. I made my settings incl xhair Default now but I just tried one server and everything was normal, then tried another server and no weapon in view or xhairs. So perhaps it's server specific.

This happens if the server offers a weapon but does not force the client to download and load the package containing the weapon. Probably the server admin has forgotten to add the package to the "ServerPackages" of his server's INI file.

That would make sense. I've only been to a few servers so far, so maybe if I keep checking out servers eventually one of them will push the weapon files to me. I take it that's really the only way to get new/mod weapons.
